There's a feature request posted at https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/118809-option-to-find-all-references-to-internal-link-of-the-note/

Thank you for the link. I have added my vote and commented on it. But as it is written, it is a request for a search function.

That request has a low visibility, with very specific use described. So it is probably still better to accumulate the votes here and gather different ways to improve the notes linking.

I don't want to search to find the up links: I need to have a simple navigation tool between connected notes. This would bring Evernote to the next level of organisation.

Select a note and then determine whether the internal link of this note has been used anywhere , if so retrieve all such references.

Having an easy way to see and access all the notes linking to a specific note when this note is selected would be very important also for me, saving a lot of time, and avoiding losing information by a better interconnection between the notes.

I don't want to have to search manually to show all the links. The up links should be immediately visible when opening the note, either in a side panel, or at the top of the note.

I have detailed why I need this feature also in a related comment:

I usually split the information on a topic in multiple notes. I then simply link the detailed information to a master note giving an overview of all the information on that topic. I also organise topics in a hierarchy similar to folders.

If I navigate through this information with the current link feature, I can go down very easily in the linked notes. But I cannot go up. Of course I could use the "Go back" button if I am coming from a note. But this is missing the point. There can be multiple "Up" linked notes, and I want to be able to access all of them easily, not only the one I came from.

The way around I have now, is to make at the top of the note an "Up links" section where I list the "Up" notes I want to be able to access easily from this point. This double linking is extremely painful, considering that Evernote has all the information to give this information automatically very easily.

A very easy feature to implement in Evernote would be to give the option to show all the notes linking to a specific note. This would save me a lot of time in the organisation of my data in Evernote. Most of my notes include many links to other notes. If I cannot find the master note linking all of them, it is much more difficult to find the information I am looking for. I don't think it would be difficult to implement, and it is not such an exotic feature that is user specific.

NB: Crusoe might be interesting, but I cannot test this Mac specific app. Also, we should not need a third party app to have such a basic feature.
